Shinichi Morohoshi is Tokyo's self-made Lamborghini king, a man who built an empire on the back of repeated tragedies. His heavily customized supercars capture the over-the-top style of Kabukichō, winning him fans and detractors worldwide.
But a prison sentence, a horrible accident, and bankruptcy nearly cost him everything. VICE visits Morohoshi’s Fighting Star garage to see how he rose to fame by consistently going against the grain.

Ramborghini
This is the coolest and crazy lambo i ever seen !🔥🔥👍
Just like him, the first time I saw a real Lamborghini, the motivation to own one is crazy. Motivation had been wavering on and off these past years but he sure is an inspiration. Vice, would you kindly help me say thanks to him for the inspirational and motivation?
Ricer
Why did he get arrested, and how did he build a lambo business after that?
Vagueness: *exists* This mans intro: Flintstones, meet the Flintstones, they're a modern stone age family, Also Lamborghini
Track ID of the DNB track anybody please?
Yakuza
Vice please keep coming up with more car videos it’s awesome
saw him earlier at a DDE vlog with his rolls royce he told damon and dave that he just got out of the ICU for a car meet event
*Se ve fachero 👌🏻👌🏻😍😍😎😎*
The guy looks like he's depressed af! Like he made it to the top and now he's like "now what?"
After the GME saga. I'm going to buy one of these too
Damn, real life nfs 2015 just like this man 🔥🔥
Most confusing vague origin story ever
Must have been something like when the show up to Johnny trans house Except the family members were just big towers of money and he was playing fantasy meeting with strippers Also coke
パチンコ台みたい

Props bro. Living large 💯
Ain’t anyone gonna say anything about the Mclearn F1 in the corner 🤤🤤
Childhood memories of customizing any cars in Need For Speed in whatever style you want
Good for him I’m happy for him what a great story I love the new car it’s fucking amazing 🤩👍🏼

Crazy those Lambo’s are what dreams are mad of. Man one day I’ll have a Lamborghini
the edit really makes me wanna go to japan rn

Japanese guy : Lamborghini legend🗿
bro him in his 20s was a good looking dude
why would you do that to a lambo
From a super sport to a clown car🙄🙄🙄
need for speed underground endboss
NFS 2015
Lamborghini Contach may be the best.
เห็นปกคลิปนึกว่าไอ้แป๊ะดูดแหนม
He’s not the first to do it though lol people do this with their streetcars instead
Ah yes the old "get into a car accident and during recovery impulsively buy two new Lamborghinis"... it's an increasingly common problem
9:09 i wasnt the only that noticed that right?
I met him in Italy I believe! at Lamborghini's 50th anniversary
This is a true legend
This mans is the flyest Drippiest guy in Japan no cap
Ya'll never heard of CHOI if u think this dude is a legend 🤣🤣🤣👌
CHOI is literally the one and Only CUSTOM LAMBO *GOD* , not this dude, not anyone else
Omg vice made something interesting
Before say something the car have a ugly design think about something, Japan is one of the most modern and well established in the world, 2 nuclear bombs, lost the WWII, nuclear accidents, tsunamis, but they all still going and much better than the majority of other countries with they amazing culture and society. Maybe, ugly for now but what about in the future? yeah you got it, they already there.
ESTE ERA EL AMIGO DE JUCA CUANDO FUE A JAPON .. ESTABA CON EL CARRO AMARILLO

I've seen people calling these kinds of cars ' when ricers win lottery' but in my opinion it's his freaking car he decides how his car looks. It's for his enjoyment not others.
this is prove how "money cant buy class⁹
And a lot of class can't raise their dreams because talk too much
When a factory Lamborghini isn’t crazy enough, now that’s crazy.
anyone know the name of that jungle song that starts at 3:33?
So he rebuilt the car an made it as bright an flashy as he could so no matter what, you can see that car from a mile away. Nobody gonna just change lanes an not see him lighting up the night.
Saw him on DDE with Steve, Damon and Dave. Glad he recovered from that accident before DDE’s Trip to Japan. Great guy...Great convoy of cars he got...🏎🏎🏎💨💨💨
Beautiful😍
This guy is so humble that I dig what he does.
5:18 "confident in his driving skill" but drives with arms straight and steering wheel far forward
真一さんが言っていることは間違えていない。
When I buy a r34 or 35 I'll take it to fightingstars to get it customized
This iswhy japan is awesome 🇯🇵
police is temporary but dreep is eternal
What a ledge
I completely understand why he specs his lambo like that. Its his style. I really think its cool cause if youre gonna buy a lambo and you want attention why not flex so hard by adding more lights and glitters to it.
1:39 Does anyone know what rims are those on the Ghibli?
This could be Mr Miyagi’s son.
This video give me cyberpunk vibes
Súper Cars 💯💯🙏 I am From Mexican, Saludos Shinichi Morohoshi ✌️
JDM NUMBA WAN!!
No
Buddy at 9:10 is very disrespectful 🤮
There is a car sticker that summs it all up perfectly: BUILT NOT BOUGHT ...nuff said :)
🤢🤮
Vice meets : GUY FERARI
Damn i want to work with / for him
This is some cars movie car
Why were people hating on the man for customizing lambos? God some people just always have something to complain about I swear. He ain’t touching your lambo and you probably won’t ever have one so chill tf out. Let him enjoy his passion and what he loves.
Japan's biggest ricer
なんだろ せっかくのものがかき消されてる感半端ない
Como destrozar un Lamborghini by Shinichi Morohoshi.
I like green car ....😍😍😍😍😍😍
This trend only works in JAPAN .
He’s really creative
I think it looks stupid, I find it pointless.. if you're pissing people off you know you're doing something right. I respect it.
Ngl, but i think his modification style is not that bad. It just inspired from NFS Underground era where neons & eccentric color is such a must list.
One of the best videos vice new ever uploaded
